I recently repotted my bonsai tree since it was given to me in a pot without drainage holes and in the wrong soil (it was too compact). I put a layer of gritty material (mostly clay) at the bottom of the new bonsai pot, used bonsai soil and watered it generously after. It’s been a couple of days and the tree has green leaves but they’re all droopy and slightly crispy, i’m misting it and the soil is still damp since that day i watered it (around 4 days ago). The tree is sitting on a window where it gets light and i’ve been careful to not put it outside too long because it’s too windy even though it’s spring here. I live in the south of italy.

My biggest concern is the fact that the soil is still pretty damp even though i’ve watered it days ago, is my tree dying? Or should i just be patient and wait? This was my first time repotting a tree and i’m afraid i did something wrong. I’m also worried that during the period i left it out on the sun to get some direct light it got too windy and/or hot and that’s why the leaves are crispy. I also have liquid fertilizer but i haven’t used it yet for this month since i’ve read it’s not good to fertilize a sick tree.

it would be good to get some advice on what to do or if i’m just overreacting and my tree needs some time to get adjusted to the new pot and soil or something.

Hello and welcome.

If you use the search option here in this forum you will find that carmona is the tree that people have the most problems with/die the most. Why? Because the climate in our homes is just not suited for the tree, to say even more it's just toxic. A carmona needs besides a high temperature , high humidity and ventilation , and those we dont have in our homes. Misting doesn't help, that is a bit of a myth really ( that and humidity trays). Humidity doesnt stay magically around your tree in a bubble, the only thing you are doing is increase the humidity of your living room with 0.01% or something like that.
So, your tree... is dying or dead, like so many of them.
If you are interested in bonsai, buy one that is native to your region , place it outside where it belongs and it will thrive

yes unfortunately i've discovered how carmona is hard to keep alive after having brought this bonsai at home. I'm so sad since it was thriving and doing just fine for the past months (i got it last year), it even had many white flowers back then. I'm a beginner and if this tree dies i'll wait until i get my next one, I'll have to research a good species that can live in south italy just fine.

poor tree

South Italy....get a fairly mature olive tree to start with. Not many trees are easier if you have the right conditions.
